Confession

Run away
Don’t follow a ghost 
She doesn’t know where she’s heading
Back away
Don’t follow a sinner
She doesn’t know what’s worth dreading
She has one broken heart
A screwed up head
Doesn’t know where to start
Can’t find an end
Her last words
Spoken with grace

I don’t know where to go
Heaven won’t accept me
The stars can’t reach me
I made my fair share of mistakes
Running with the wrong crowd
Silence instead of speaking out
Lost my conscience on the way
Now my hearts missing
Body full of bullet holes.

Good morning Paige another powerful poem straight from the heart. Now let me say this we are all sinners and every single one of us has made mistakes. But when we trust Jesus he wipes away our sins wipes away our mistakes and opens heavens gates and welcomes us in with open arms so you see heaven does want you.

Don't be so hard on yourself:) Confessing comes before forgiveness. Now you get to start all over. This time don't run with the pack! I like this poem because it feels authentic.

Perhaps the wrong word. Realistic maybe? truthful? No made up it is from you're actual life.
